[Handle with care] Collection of magic tricks using a lighter
First of all, since this article introduces magic tricks that use a lighter, I want to strongly emphasize the need for great care in handling it.
Because fire is involved, there is a risk of burns and other dangers, so children must never try this.
Some tricks are simple and easy to attempt, but even adults could cause a serious accident with a small mistake.
Please make sure to carefully check your surroundings before giving it a try.
[Handle with Care] Collection of Lighter Tricks (1–10)
Lighter Magic
What?! Isn’t it hot!? It’s a magic trick using a lighter that makes you worry it might catch fire.
Just when you think the flame is lit, they pinch the flame with their fingers, separate it from the lighter, and lift it up! How on earth is that possible? And to top it off, they put the flame back onto the lighter at the end—astonishing!
A pillar of flames from the hand!
It’s a magic trick where, when you grip a lighter firmly and then let go, a jet of flame shoots up not from the lighter, but from your hand.
You don’t light the flame at first; instead, you let the lighter’s gas accumulate securely in your hand, and at the moment you release the lighter, you ignite the gas inside your hand.
Although flames rising from your hand may look dangerous, the gas disperses quickly into the air, so if you’re careful with the timing of ignition, you can keep the risk of burns well under control.
Sometimes there may be a faint sound while releasing the gas, so it’s recommended to cover it well with patter and movement to avoid giving the secret away.
Simple fireworks with two lighters
It’s closer to a curious party trick than magic, but if you perform it like a magic trick, it’ll probably look like one.
You don’t need any special techniques, and it has a slightly romantic feel that’s lovely, too.
It seems like small children would enjoy it as well.
cigar through-lighter
Many people have heard of or seen the Cigarette Through Card, but in this magic trick, the cigarette actually penetrates a lighter.
After removing the cigarette and rubbing the spot with your finger, there’s no hole.
It’s a truly baffling lighter magic trick.
Lighter magic using perspective
This trick is limited to magic performed using video—like livestreams or sending a clip to friends—and it uses forced perspective.
You first show a normal lighter, then place a much larger lighter closer to the camera.
Even if it looks big, people tend to think it’s just a perspective issue, so they usually don’t realize what’s going on until you pick it up and show it in your hand again.
The magic of bending a lighter
It’s an unimaginable kind of magic where, as you heat a coin with a lighter and try to bend the coin, the lighter itself bends instead.
This lighter is actually a prop you can buy from magic shops, but even so, you wouldn’t expect it to bend like that, would you?
A magic trick where flames come out of one’s hand
It’s closer to a risky stunt than magic, but if you do it before anyone notices, it really feels like magic and makes a big impact.
You trap the lighter’s gas in your hand and ignite it, so the flame flares up in an instant and then goes out.
It’s very beautiful, isn’t it?
